Biodergradation of Reactive Dyes Using Multistage Rotating Disc Contactor Immobilized by Aspergillus sojae B-10

회전원판 반응조에 고정화시킨 Aspergillus sojae B-10에 의한 반응성 염료의 탈색

Dyes are released into the environment as industrial wasterwater. Dyes are considered to be a pollution problem because of the wide spread into environment with a variety of colors. Continuous biodegradation of reactive dyes such as Rifacion Red H-3EB, Rifazol Blue BT, Rifacion Yellow P4G and Rifacion Brown RT were demonstrated using multistage rotating disc contactor immobilized by Aspergillus sojae B-10. Aspergillus sojae B-10 was cultivated the optimal medium containing 2.0% glucose, 0.08% $NaNO_3$, 0.1% $KH_2PO_4$ and 0.5% $MgSO_4\cdot 7H_2O$, pH 5 at 32$\circ$C. Mycelium of Aspergillus sojae B-10 were guck to the rotating disc for 10 days until steady state. For continuous biodegradation of reactive dyes by using rotating disc contactor, it was most effective biodegradation in the medium containing 1,000 ppm each dyes at the medium feeding rate of 20 ml per hour. Under the conditions biodegradation of each dyes on 2, 4 and 6 days were 20~50%, 75% and 96%, respectively. Therefore, practical application of reactive dyes were carried out at the feeding rate of 20 ml/h as synthetic wasterwater containing 500 ppm of mixture reactive dyes. It was found the highest levels of 94% biodegradation during 20 days.
